Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady led a fourth quarter comeback against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. But he also reached a milestone that no other player has achieved. Brady surpassed 100,000 passing yards in the regular season and postseason, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to do so. Also, Brady notched his 43rd career fourth-quarter comeback, tying Peyton Manning for the most by an NFL starting quarterback.
The Win
The Buccaneers got revenge in the comeback win over the Rams. In the divisional round of the playoffs last year, the Rams defeated the Bucs in their quest to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. Though, after defeating the Rams 16-13, the Bucs got back in the win column and retained the top spot in the NFC South.

The Record
Brady sealed the record on a 15-yard pass to running back Leonard Fournette in the second quarter.
The long-time quarterback explained his underlying reason for the amount of joy that was radiating in Raymond James Stadium on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay struggled finding the endzone throughout the game. However, the defense produced multiple stops and allowed the Bucs to get the ball back. With 44 seconds left, the Bucs had the ball at their own 40-yard line and Brady completed four straight passes to get down to the one-yard line. Then, rookie tight end Cade Otten caught the pass from Brady for a touchdown with nine seconds left, securing the win.
After the game, Brady said it was a much needed win and it was exciting to come out with a victory over a strong Rams team.
The Bucs will play their next game Sunday in Munich, Germany, against the Seattle Seahawks. This is the first ever NFL game in Germany and kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m.
